<ul><i>Author</i> A string describing who created the WHIP! data.</ul>
<font face="Arial Black"><font size=-1>Details</font></font>
<ul>Some WHIP! data reading applications may need to "know" who created the WHIP! data
file. The WHIP! data generating application can indicate this need with the <b>Define
Drawing Author</b> opcode:
<ul><font face="Courier New"><font size=-1>(Author 'Brian P. Mathews, Autodesk,
Inc.')</font></font></ul>
</ul>
<font face="Arial Black"><font size=-1>Notes</font></font>
<ul>WHIP! data reading applications should not expect to be able to parse the
<i>Author</i>
argument, though it can be shown to a user.
<p>WHIP! data should contain a maximum of one occurrence of the
<b>Define
Drawing Author</b> opcode, which by convention should be nested inside
a <b><a href="DefDwgInfoBlk.html">Define Drawing Information Block</a></b>
opcode.</ul>
<font face="Arial Black"><font size=-1>Default</font></font>
<ul>By default, no drawing author is defined:
<ul><font face="Courier New"><font size=-1>(Author unknown)</font></font></ul>
</ul>
